Extending the notion of $r$-(class) regular partitions, we define $(r_{1},...,r_{m})$-class regular partitions. A partition identity is presented and described by making use of the Glaisher correspondence.

Given a compact manifold X, the set of simple manifold structures on X x \Delta^k relative to the boundary can be viewed as the k-th homotopy group of a space \S^s (X). This space is called the block structure space of X. We study the block…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $N$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $T$ be a linear operator on $V$. Given an integer $m$ that divides $N$, an $m$-dimensional subspace $W$ of $V$ is $T$-splitting if $V=W\oplus TW\oplus…

The first half of this dissertation reviews the basic notion of vector-valued modular forms and its connection to differential equations. The main purpose of the dissertation is to classify spaces of vector-valued modular forms associated…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position on the plane. A set of closed convex polygons with vertices in $P$, and with pairwise disjoint interiors is called a convex decomposition of $P$ if their union is the convex hull of $P$,…

An introductory overview of vector spaces, algebras, and linear geometries over an arbitrary commutative field is given. Quotient spaces are emphasized and used in constructing the exterior and the symmetric algebras of a vector space.…

We classify the orbits of solids in the projective space $\text{PG}(5,q)$, $q$ even, under the setwise stabiliser $K \cong \text{PGL}(3,q)$ of the Veronese surface. For each orbit, we provide an explicit representative $S$ and determine two…

We show that the partition function of the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model can be written as a sum over surfaces in a $(2+1)$ dimensional space-time. We suggest a geometrical meaning, in terms of surfaces, for the (regulated)…

A blocking semioval is a set of points in a projective plane that is both a blocking set (i.e., every line meets the set, but the set contains no line) and a semioval (i.e., there is a unique tangent line at each point). The smallest size…

Blocking semiovals and the determination of their (minimum) sizes constitute one of the central research topics in finite projective geometry. In this article we introduce the concept of blocking set with the $r_\infty$-property in a finite…

Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…

The partition of a problem into smaller sub-problems satisfying certain properties is often a key ingredient in the design of divide-and-conquer algorithms. For questions related to location, the partition problem can be modeled, in…

Gaussian elimination answers any question about a finitely presented vector space. However, a "uniform family" of such presentations--given as generic relations among an unspecified number of generators--is susceptible to elimination only…

The Gieseker-Petri locus GP_g is defined as the locus inside M_g consisting of curves which violate the Gieseker-Petri Theorem. It is known that GP_g has always some divisorial components and it has been conjectured that it is of pure…

We prove that the space of vector fields on the boundary of a bounded domain in three dimensions is decomposed into three subspaces orthogonal to each other: elements of the first one extend to the inside of the domain as gradient fields of…

In this paper I will investigate geometrical structures of multipartite quantum systems based on complex projective varieties. These varieties are important in characterization of quantum entangled states. In particular I will establish…

A complete answer to the question about subspaces generated by $\{\pm 1\}$-vectors, which arose in the work of I.Kanter and H.Sompolinsky on associative memories, is given. More precisely, let vectors $v_1, \ldots , v_p,$ $p\leq n-1,$ be…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite undirected graph. If $P$ is an oriented path from $r_1\in V$ to $r_2\in V$, we define $\partial(P) = r_2-r_1$. If $R, S\subseteq V$, we denote by $P(G; R, S)$ the span of the set of all $\partial P\otimes \partial…

This paper gives an exposition of well known results on vector partition functions. The exposition is based on works of M. Brion, A. Szenes and M. Vergne and is geared toward explicit computer realizations. In particular, the paper presents…

We show that the definition of an algebraic basis for a vector space allows the construction of an isomorphism with the one here called Algebraic Vector Space. Although the concept does not bring anything new, we mention some of the…
